The Five Realms Series

by , ,
(102 reviews)

The Five Realms (also called Longburrow in the US) is an award-winning epic series of fantasy stories for ages 7+ set in a world of... rabbits!  

The first three books in the series follow the adventures of Podkin, who is desperately protecting his sister Paz and their baby brother Pook, and their entire realm, from the most horrifying enemy rabbitkind has ever known: the GORM.

Podkin, his family and his friends must continue to fight the evil forces of the Gorm, who will see no end to attacking Podkin's forest home. Podkin will have to travel through forests, hide in Dark Hollow warren of Grimheart, and undertake a deadly mission to find a magical weapon!

From book four, we are introduced to a new protagonist in the rabbit world: Uki, a young rabbit who was cast out from his tribe. Uki takes on an impossible quest to capture a series of evil spirits before they unleash havoc across the Five Realms.

Author Kieran Larwood won the Blue Peter Book Award for best story with this fantastic series and his books have received great praise, including:

'It's jolly good fun . . . expect sequels to breed like . . . well, rabbits.' SFX on The Legend of Podkin One-Ear
'Kieran Larwood's talent and his passion for his wonderful characters leap off every page.' David Long, author of Survivors

This is a fantastic series of adventure, danger, heart and family. Perfect for fans of Redwall and Loki!
